Sounds very cool! I take it the project was successful wrt
user-interaction/GUI ?<br>
<br>
I was also thinking of a UI like StreetView (move forward/back,
zoom etc), but that would require the imagery to be highly
geo-coded, and a ton of software...<br>

here at the City internally. We even have a thumbnail in a
popup on mouseover function. Additionally we also put into
place a GeoSpatial identifier that shows all photo's that look
at a particular spot on the ground. We acquired all the
corresponding camera data with the photo acquisition that show
which direction the camera was facing. Jim K. did much of the
work for this. But the availability of the camera data helped
as well. Our catlog includes two different collections of
street level photos, each covering the entire city right of
way. The last collection included 2million+ photos @
7megapixel (I think) with a camera array for 360 deg views of
each location spaced every 15 ft down every road. We're
talking about running another collection as a matter of fact.</font>

<div style="margin-bottom:0;margin-top:0;"> I had a
question the other day from a person in the Emergency<br>
Response Planning business. He has a client (with
little or no money to<br>
spend) interested in looking at a aerial scenes of
their five facilities<br>
from their head office to aid in any decisions. I let
them know the<br>
difference between aerial "snapshots" and
photogrammetry, etc. But I<br>
can't really help them; it's mainly a data acquisition
task and a photo<br>
album.<br>
<br>
However while we were talking, it occurred to me
that a simple<br>
web-based mapping system with the ability to upload
geo-tagged photos<br>
from the field, display icons on map and show the
photo when clicked<br>
(like Google Earth's Photo layer) could be a nice
GeoMoose extension,<br>
useful for various things. I think most of the parts
are in GeoMoose:<br>
Identify, Popups (although I may want the Identify
info sent to a<br>
different browser window)...<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
